I didn't have time to eat this morning before running out the door, so I stopped at a drive through to grab a sausage biscuit. When I got to the window to pay, the clerk told me there was no charge, that the lady in the car in front of me had paid for it. I wasn't paying much attention, but she appeared to be a white, middle-aged lady and she was driving a cream-colored cadillac with a tag from the next county over, so I know I didn't know her. She had already driven off by the time I got the food so I had no opportunity to say "thank you".

So, thank you, ma'am. That was a very nice gesture. I'll pay it forward next time I'm in line.
